12 Saddest Heroic Sacrifices In Movies

With the dynamic that is the MCU, Tony Stark appearing in ten of the twenty three films and made a connection with audiences that had never rarely been seen before in cinema. It was only as we expected that his departure from the Marvel Cinematic Universe was a devastating blow for fans.

During the final epic battle with almost every hero we had come to know over ten years battle against Thanos and his giant army, there we many amazing and shocking moments as they all scrambled to keep the Infinity Stones and Gauntlet out of the Mad Titan’s Hands. After Tony manages to grapple the stones away from Thanos, he uses his final moments to obliterate Thanos and his army with a snap of his fingers.

We had seen Tony Stark grow as a character from a selfish billionaire, uncaring about life, to a noble hero who gave his life to save the world. Seeing the arc reactor shut off in his final moments as he is surrounded by the Avengers is a powerful way to say goodbye. It was one that brought audiences down to tears as we all said got to say goodbye to a decade long character we all cared for.
